Oil light on at low revs?

an oil light or sometimes an "idiot light" (named for the lack of an analog oil pressure guage) can come on at a low idle for a couple reasons. But first know that the oil pump spins mechanically with the RPM's of the engine. the slower the engine turns the slower the pump turns. this is why the light goes out when you rev the engine, the pump creates more oil pressure in the system and satisfies the pressure switch that activates the light. just a couple of things that can cause this. a: high mileage, old worn out bearings with wide tolerances dont restrict the oil enough and it will just run out and back into the pan, with pressure dropping at each bearing. b: too thin of an oil weight, when your engine heats up, a thinner oil, possibly in conjunction with "a" can act like water and will run through the system much faster and with less effectiveness. similar to pouring something thin through a funnel and something thick through a funnel. c: worn out fuel pump,

Why would power steering fail on astra?

My wife Astra 2002 power steering failed and battery light came on.

Now and again you could switch off and start up again and it could go off.

Another time in this could weather we would start car up and leave to warm up for some time we also found battery light went off and power steering came back on.

We have just brought this car and returned it to the garage where a new alternator was fitted and no problem ,100 amp type so must require some power.

So I can only think that e.g. you are getting 4amp ect from alternator and you need 5amp to run the power steering pump motor then this could be why, by the way all lights ,heater rear screen ect were put on and headlight did not dim but was still the alternator.

The weather is also very wet and the alternator fit under the car, although there is a cover when hitting water it could still enter the alternator.

I hope this helps some of you If not all with these faults .
